rain barrels

I might be able to get a couple oilers and gauges. I work in a power plant that was built in the 1920s. We recently retired our old coal plant on property and I know that there are definitely some over there. I need to see for sure and get the bosses permission to remove them. Ill get pictures...

not sure if I understand you problem but I have used automotive rubberized undercoating that comes in spray cans on the inside of my gutters for some small leaks I had , after 2 - 3 coats it fixed all my leaks , of course only spraying where the leaks are and not the entire gutter , other...

my 20 gallon parts washer came mounted on wheels so I can easily roll it around my garage , so if someone had it in their garage the could easily be rolling it along and catch the wheel on a extension cord and the fluid can splash out due to the shallow washer bin and cause a fire by splashing...

The best part is I know the manager at my local Tractor Supply because my younger brother works there. He said that he knows that the Tractor Supply solvent they sell cant be used in the 20 gallon parts washer that I have because of safety reasons (splashing out when being moved around in a...

all I am trying to do is pass along my experiences so other people don't have the same issue. Thank you everyone for the bashing though, I am new to this site and I am learning lots just like this

my issue would be what it is doing to the pump

no I had it in the parts washer for over 7 months, I apologize for not having the proper grammar or whatever, I am a worker not a scholar, my surprise was to see that simple green , a water-based solvent could do this to a parts washer

so after reading about how some members had issues with using simple green in their parts washers I decided to take a look into my washer , I bought my washer 12-02-12 and since my work has 55 gallon drums of simple green I ended up using that in my parts washer , well I was pretty surprised to...

so after reading all these posts im gonna make most of you people mad , I work at a power plant that was built in the 1920's and we just shut the old coal side down in 2010 , all the old office equipment is still in the old abandoned building that I have access to and permission to take anything...

mine had a newer 5HP one from Tractor Supply , it was a Marathon Electric , it was on the compressor that came with the house and I moved in 6/2011 and my motor just went last week , I only run my compressor once a week if that , I am currently shopping around but in my opinion I would not buy...

you can get the kits for the downspout from lots of places online, mine is from : http://www.rainreserve.com/ , but I got it from Amazon. com

well im not looking for a ton of pressure , just enough to wash my hands and anything else in the sink , my wife hates when I use the sink in the house - haha , I do already own a 12 volt water transfer pump that I was thinking about using along with my two old batteries from my diesel truck and...

I made holes in my ceiling ( which is insulation board ) then installed plastic piping with a cap for the posts to go up into. That way my heat is not getting out and it is a nice clean look. My garage is about 12 feet from concrete to insulation board ceiling , my doors are 10 foot high doors.

I bought a kit online to collect the rain water from my gutter downspout , I then got two plastic food grade 55 gallon drums for free and bought some fittings and pipe and made this. It works great so far , they fill up very fast considering my garage is 50'x40'. I can hook a garden hose to the...
